California Officer Stops Parolee Armed With Two Guns

A San Bernardino (Calif.) Police officer fatally shot a parolee following a foot pursuit in which the subject pulled two guns on the officer, reports the San Bernardino Sun.

Adrian Gutierrez, 28, had been out of prison about a month when he sped away from the officer after a traffic violation. Gutierrez crashed his vehicle and, while armed with two guns, ran from the officer. He turned on the officer, who then fired.

The chief of the Nashville Metro Police Department took to Twitter late last week to plead for citizens to thank a police officer, appreciate the difficulty of their jobs, and understand that despite being fewer in numbers officers are being asked to do more and more every day.

The Florida Highway Patrol Training Academy posted on Facebook, "It is with great sadness that we inform you of the passing of Master Sergeant Daniel Hinton. Master Sergeant Hinton suffered cardiac arrest during a training exercise and was transported to Gulf Coast Hospital where he later passed away."
